Queensland is amplifying Scam Awareness Week with a call to ‘Stop. Check. Protect.’ after losses topped tens of millions last year. Authorities want people to pause before acting on high‑pressure messages and to verify via official web or phone channels.
The campaign partners with banks and telcos to block known scam vectors. Businesses are encouraged to retrain frontline staff and tighten invoice‑change procedures.
